Connect your channels

Link the social, email, and SMS accounts OCCS publishes through.

<p>OCCS publishes through <em>your</em> accounts. Connect each channel once.</p> <h2>Social Connect <strong>Meta (Facebook + Instagram), YouTube, TikTok, X, and LinkedIn</strong> from your channel settings. Each uses the platform's official OAuth, and OCCS requests only the scopes it needs to publish on your behalf. Google Ads is supported as a ready-to-import export bundle rather than direct posting.</h2> <h2>Email — bring your own OCCS doesn't charge per email. Connect your own <strong>Postmark</strong> server token or any <strong>SMTP</strong> provider; OCCS orchestrates the sends and you're billed by that provider at their flat rate. SPF/DKIM/DMARC are enforced for deliverability.</h2> <h2>SMS SMS sends go through <strong>Twilio</strong> and are billed per message on top of your plan (cost-plus).</h2> <p>Need step-by-step screens for a specific platform's review/permissions? Those live in the in-app setup walkthroughs.</p>
